saturday 16 August 2008
It’s a wet Saturday here in Galway and I am back in the hometown to celebrate my brother and sister in law’s 25th wedding anniversary and to remember the Dad who is gone 3 years. We went to a Mass tonight during which he got The Mention and it was extra lovely because the priest speaking knew him. In fact he was the one who saw him off at his funeral. Very fitting as he’d known him and they’d gone racing and had a few pints over the years.
I shall add some extra pints to my menu now as…wait for it…I finished the book!!!!!! I fell allowed the exclamations marks here though I normally don’t use ‘em too much.
I am writing this in the bar just as we begin our merriment.
I trust you will all have noticed that I have re-introduced capital letters where neccessary…this is by popular demand.
Ian (brother) is looking over my shoulder and says hello to you all – he is excited that there is a he night here (they look great i have to say) and they are staying the night in the hotel, as is he, and breakfast tomorrow looks like an event PLUS we ‘got’ Mass tonight which counts as the Sunday attendance so all is well….
